Implemented Enabling /market for servers

Hello MyM!

Given the new rule changes and removal of the end game rule we feel the community should put it to a vote if they wish to bring back the market on all the servers.

We ask that players give their opinion or suggestions on if we should bring it back or any concerns related to specific servers for it.

Hope to see your guys opinions!

 

Voted No.

Why: Simple, without the endgame items rule, there is no need for a market system since we can now publically share items for either ingame items, or just for free because some of us are nice sharing & caring people (not specifically talking about myself here).

The only thing the market system will cause, is people selling stuff for ridiculous (low or high prices) which will cause you more staff work. It will also cause people to need MyM's again, which means more voting and less tickets for chunkloading.... and oh man, chunkloading has become really expensive... its like someone from staff artificially inflates the cost of those things...

Edit:
Im definitely gonna be one of those guys who will undercut everyone and sell stuff for crazy cheap.

 

Market can only work if there was END GAME rule and if no1 gives free stuff and we know that is impossible.
The conclusion is that the market made no sense since beginning.
Only way i used /market was for sending items from/to me, saving only few seconds to teleport and drop item.
Considering recent changes there is no need for /market at all.

 

Since they dropped the endgame items rule, ive handed out multiple items for free on Po3K and its nice. People skip some progression, but they also in turn cause a lot less server stress, because they can skip the tedious setups. Someone asks for a transmutation tablet? Sure! My price you ask? Free

Markets wont contribute anything but stress/frustration for staff due to artificial inflation

 

I prefer no market.

If we are allowed to trade, i'd like the social interaction more than an auction house

 

I perfer market

Just find it useful for keeping beggars away

 

Give me my free market economy! Trading and generosity is nice, but I can't always count on someone being there to share.

 

Most of New Players dont know bout market and spam anyways...

 

Would actually argue that they do get to know about it fairly quickly. Depending on the server of course.

I do love the function of being able to send stuff to people without having to tpa (introverts dream). Plus what Hanover said about the offline ability

 

ahem infinity trolls are watching, theyre learning how the server works

 

Been playing on B-Team (a server with /market) for a long time, and I honestly can't imagine what I'd do without it. Its a really great way to get steady income by creating farms and listing items in bulk. Its a great way of seeing whats currently in supply, and also gets players interested in buying something that they weren't originally looking for. (similar to the "put milk at the back of the grocery store so people have to walk through the whole store before buying it" strategy). Even with end-game items, I could totally see it working on other servers, provided no one messes up the economy by selling a rare item for very cheap. It also promotes farm-building and automation, as players will be more likely to automate difficult items to produce, and sell them in bulk. I personally produce Magmatic Dynamos and Lava Fabricators and sell them on the market. -its basically free money.

Nothing is better than logging back on after a day to see your market mail filled with transaction logs.

 

I would argue there are zero downsides to enabling the market on every server. Market does not prevent you from trading in-person (it promotes it even, since in personal trading does not get taxed!). If people refuse to use it, then no problem. It'll sit unused while players happily trade away in person.

What im trying to say is that having the option to use it should always be welcomed, since there's no downside to having market enabled.

(i hope im making sense lol, its 2 am and am running on caffeine. i'm having trouble finding the right words to form coherent sentences haha)

 

Zero downside since ur not staff. For staff there are plenty of downsides. All the -extra- work!

 

Not trying to be a grammar-n**i here, but the way i read that, it says, you are trying to prevent people from scamming less? so more scamming is better? Im sure thats not how you meant it, but thats what it says tho...

 

I think /market is dead on all servers because there is no value for MyM's other than the market. Whats the point selling stuff if only thing you can do with your profit is to buy stuff from the market? In skyblock servers its even worse because you cant buy claimblocks. Some new value should be implemented with MyM money or no-one will never sell anything. MyM's are pretty much useless.

I suggest a rebuy vote tokens with a decreased value. If all the MyM's on a server are bought with tokens why not sell them back to those who have aquired some MyM's? Or maybe some other extra value for them? All suggestions welcome!

 

tbh people sell for profit so why give them more profit
